? Atlanta. Ga., September 28: Chas.
S. Barrett, national president of the
Farmers' Union, in an Interview in reference
to the reported threats of cotton
burning of ginners, said: "I have
heard from every state in the south
and I am satisfied that these reports
make mountains out of mole hills.
Wherever a thing of this kind occurs,
it Is immediately magnified a thousand
fold and spread broadcast. If anything
of this kind has taken place it
Is to be attributed entirely to irresponsible
law-breakers. The Farmers*
Union has- put itself squarely on record
as frowning down upon such lawless
proceedings and the rank and file of
our organization will tolerate nothing

? Charlotte Observer: Too bad
about William January. Who doesn't
remember the fuss made less than a
year ag'-> over the man who, after escaping
from the Federal penitentiary at
Leavenworth, Kan., and living a model
life for years, had been discovered and
rearrested? He had established a happy
home, with wife and baby, and it
seemed unspeakably hard that he should
be torn from them to finish expiating
an old crime. The people of Kansas
City where January was a highly respected
business man of the minor sort,
vented loud denunciations upon the
head of Attorney General Bonaparte
for recommending that the escaped prisoner
be made to serve three months
more as an example. More than one
magazine printed special articles descriptive
of the hero and his experience.
But now, alas! January has
been found running a gambling joint
and the police are looking for him In
vain. Unlike his prototype, this new
Jean Valjean spoiled the story- Too
bad. indeed.
? Charlotte Observer: The selection
and acceptance of Hermann Rldder,
publisher of the New York StaatsZietung.
as Democratic campaign
treasurer Is bound to please very greatly
all who desire Democratic success in
this election. Mr. Rldder, since Carl
Schurz's death, might be termed the
most Influential man among Americans
of German nativity. For this reason,
but still more because he stands for

manda universal esteem, his official
connection with the campaign will be
a source of great strength. Here is a
man of solid character, ability and
achievement?the extreme anti-type of
the shady promoter who was unhappily
chosen at first and whom he succeeds.
If without the Haskell episode
he would not have been found in the
forefront, the party may well be said
to have received more good than harm
thereby. The new campaign treasurer
known, moreover, as a leading conservative
Democrat, his appointment and
acceptance will place the final seal of
assurance upon effective party reunion.
We congratulate the party and view
the cutlook with Increased hopefulness
and cheer.
? Charlotte Observer. September 28:
"God has built His universe on a
principle which brings things to the
light. There is never a wrong committed
anywhere that God has not got
His witnesses on hand, ready to be
subpoenaed when He wants them.
Society owes its protection to a wholesome
publicity. We sometimes hear
complaints of extreme publicity given
by the press, but this function of the
papers in its perfect form is a benignant
one. Society today is safer
and cleaner because of the myriads of
eyes of the press that are dally searching
It through and through." Expounding
the law of moral exposure as an
Inherent principle as Inevitable In Its
operations in the moral realm as Is the
law of gravity In the world of nature.
Rev. Dr. W. M. Kincald, preaching last
night at the First Presbyterian church,
so declared himself. The sermon, which
gained its special appropriateness from
recent disclosures of alleged double
dealing in political life, was In the nature
of a warning on which was partly
based an appeal to young men to steer
clear of the paths where evil lurks. An
optimistic conclusion was also drawn
at the close from the fact that by exposure
does God protect society and
from the reassuringly small proportion
of glaring exposures to tnat or tne millions
who live honest lives In the light.
? Jackson. Miss., September 25: Oil
mill managers in Mississippi have been
forced to the conclusion that the cotton
holding'movement also includes the
cotton seed crop. According to statements
obtained from mill managers, offerings
have been very light during the
past ten days and on Wednesday the
four mills in Jackson advanced prices
to J13 per ton for seed f. o. b. at station
and $14 per ton for mill deliveries.
Whether this advance of $1 per ton will
serve as an incentive to the marketing
of the crop remains to be seen. Since
the opening of the season mills have
been running chiefly on seed ginned
from "distress cotton." Offerings from
large planters have been exceedingly
light, and there is evidently a well settled
conclusion among the farmers that
seed is going higher and they will hold
for the rise. The quality of seed has
shown marked improvement during the
past two weeks. Early ginnings were
deficient in oil, but offerings now coming
in are of very good quality. The
mill managers decline to venture predictions
as to the future trend of the
market, but with the cotton crop undoubtedly
no larger than last year, It
looks like good judgment on the part of
the fanners to hold seed for an advance
in prices. All mills in the state
are now running on full time and a
majority of them are working night
shifts.
? New York, September 26: According
to the figures of the Financial
Chronicle, the world's visible supply of
all kinds of cotton last evening totalled
1.997,589 bales, as compared with 2,318,354
bales a year ago and 1,970,746
bales two years ago. The visible supnlv
of American cotton totalled 1,340,
589 bales, as compared with 1.510,254
bales a year ago and 1,197,846 bales
two years ago. The cotton brought Into
sight during the week totalled 384,948
bales, as compared with 298,657
bales for the corresponding week last
year. The into-sight to date this season
aggregates 933,919 bales, as against
768.892 bales for the corresponding period
last season. Southern consumption
to Sept. 25 was estimated at 139,000
bales, against 189.000 bales for the corresponding
period last year. Northern
spinners* takings aggregated 82,771
bales against 77,116 bales last year.
Spinners' takings of American cotton
for the week totalled 177,368 bales,
compared with 153,908 bales for the
corresponding period last season. Spinners'
takings of American cotton for
the season to date total 570,312 bales,
as compared with 594.482 bales for the
corresponding period last year. Exports
of cotton from the United States
during the past week were 167,812
bales, as against 108,408 bales for the
corresponding week last season. The
amount of cotton on shipboard, not yet
cleared, was placed at 184,482 bales,
against 14S.504 bales a year ago.

us Mall Matter of the Second Class.
YORKVILLE. S. C.i
TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 29. 1908.
The hog and hominy argument may
be a little tiresome: but that is no
wise affects its conclusiveness.
The reason alleged by the Lancashire
spinners for shutting down
their mills is, that trade Is depressed
and they cannot continue to pay operatives
the full wage scale that was
justified in more prosperous times.
The quarrel is over a matter of only
about 5 per cent. On its face this looks
reasonable: but the logic of the situation
does not appear to be justified by
existing facts and circumstances. The
spinners are short of raw material, and
they understand {hat liberal buying
while the new crop Is coming In Is
calculated to advance prices. That is
what they do not want.
There is a strong probability that
Foraker will do all he can to deflect
Ohio from the Republican column.
That Foraker has been and is a power
in Ohio, is generally conceded. Both
parties in that state, however, are controlled
by machines, and as the Taft
crowd is probably in possession of the
Republican machine, Foraker cannot
do as much with the Republican vote as
such, as otherwise. But because of the
senator's attitude as to the Brownsville
afTair and-because of his attitude toward
the negro generally, there is no
doubt of the fact that he has come to
be looked upon as the political high
priest of the race. There are a good
many thousand negro votes in Ohio,
and there Is little reason to doubt the
ability of Senator Foraker to control
them. But the Democrats will not bank
too much on the effect of Foraker's
control of the negro vote. Ohio Republicans
claim that for every negro
who votes the Democratic ticket, five
white men who have heretofore been
voting that ticket, will vote the Republican
ticket, and as to how much reason
there is in such a claim, southern
white men are very well able to judge.
The controversy between President
Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan is worthy of
note, not only because of the matters
discussed, but also because of the
prominence of the principals. Ordinarily,
one would be Inclined to accept
the word of the president of the United
States on any question at issue, as
absolutely final. In the first place It is
difficult to conceive how a man in such
a high position could feel warranted in
any attempt at dissembling, and In the
second place one would feel that he
would naturally scorn to do anything
of the kind. We would like to be able
to believe absolutely In the veracity of
Mr. Roosevelt: but it will have to be
confessed that as the result of conflicts
with men who have as much right
to be believed as he has, there seems
to have developed room for honest
doubts. Mr. Bryan has been prominently
in public life for more than sixteen
years, and In that time we do not
recall that his veracity has ever been
called Into question. Under the circumstances,
therefore, there is no reason
why Mr. Bryan should be considered
at a disadvantage. But whatever
other view is to be taken of the controversy,
there is no question of the
fact that the country as a whole is
getting interesting light upon conditions
that have heretofore been involved
in much mystery.
There is considerable mystery as to
how William R. Hearst got his Standard
Oil letters. John D. Archbold, of
that big trust, has given out that the
letters were stolen; but this does not
seem to be altogether satisfactory. As
we see it. It Is quite possible that Archbold
may have given out the letters
himself, and in the interest of Mr. Taft.
Note who has been hit so far. The
first shot was at Foraker and Haskell.
Foraker has been opposed to Roosevelt
and Taft for quite a while, and
there is no reason to suppose that they
are very much worried at the blow
struck at him. Foraker has come out
in a long statement in which he endeavors
to make it clear that he severed
his connection with the Standard
ard Oil as soon as the trust became an
object of Federal prosecution. He
makes a real good case for himself,
much better than, at first blush, appeared
possible. But let it not be forgotten
that Foraker is the enemy of
Taft and Roosevelt. Then, there are
the charges against Haskell. Their object
was certainly not in the interest
of the Democratic party. They were
evidently intended for the benefit of
Roosevelt and Taft. And also the letters
as to McLaurin. They were suggestive.
but proved nothing. The point
however, lies in the fact that Hearst
was attempting to expose him as a
"Democrat," and that also was presumably
in the Interest of Roosevelt and
Taft. As we see it, the Democrats have
not yet been hurt by the letters; but
we are of opinion that if Mr. Archbold
will turn over his files it will be
shown that Standard Oil has been
more indulgent toward Republicans,
especially during the past twelve
years, than to Democrats.
It will have to be admitted that the
resignation of Governor C. X. Haskell
from the treasurership of the national
Democratic executive committee is an
embarrassing circumstance, still it does
not follow that the resignation is in
any sense a confession of the truth of
the charges against him. As to
whether he is guilty or innocent, we
do not know, and we have no strongly
grounded opinion. The possibility, or
even the probability of his guilt, is an
open question. One of the strongest
arguments that has been offered in his
defense, is the fact he was elected governor
of Oklahoma by such an overwhelming
majority. This is a common
argument in similar circumstances; but
we are not impressed with the force of
it. We are quite sure that the people
of Oklahoma would not have given Mr.
Haskell 30.000 majority in full knowledge
of the fact that he was then guilty
as he is now accused; but the fact that
they did give such a majority is no
proof of his innocence. It is only to
be taken as a proof that if he was guilty
they did not know It. However,
guilty or innocent, it is probably very
well that he should come down from
his position as treasurer. Because of
the source of the charges, and especially
the source of their highest endorsement,
there are people who will believe
them to the embarrassment of the
Democratic campaign. The campaign
can be conducted as well without Mr.
Haskell as with him, and when the
campaign is over, if he desires complete
vindication, he can get all he is
entitled to through the ordinary processes
of the courts. To attempt to
clear the matter up satisfactorily now
in the heat of such a campaign as is in
progress, would be manifestly absurd.
But no matter what the truth is with
regard to Mr. Haskell and Standard Oil,
it has not been shown and we do not
believe it can be shown, that Mr. Bryan
is in any way responsible.
Wheat and Oats.
In another column we are publishing
some suggestions by Messrs. G. R.
Wallace and D. R. Williams on the
wheat question.
It will be understood, of course, that
neither of the gentlemen quoted are
making any professions of being possessed
with oracular insight into the
subject; but at the same time they have
said enough to stimulate consideration,
and the publication of what they nave
said can certainly do no harm to the
situation.
There is no use to try to deny the
fact that wheat production has fallen
off very considerably in this county
during the past five or six years, and
it will have to be admitted also that
most of our best farmers have about
quit trying to raise wheat.
The suggestion of Mr. Wallace connecting
the decline in wheat culture
with cotton above 10 cents is to be
taken as only a little more than half
serious. He very well understands how
an advance in the price of cotton is
calculated to demoralize Interest in all
other crops, including even corn; but
at the same time he is not Inclined to
charge that the decreased wheat production
is due altogether to the circumstance
referred to.
Most good farmers are agreed that
there is a profit In wheat when the yield
amounts to as much as eight or ten
bushels to the acre, and all above that
simply means more profit. But it is a
fact that after the very satisfactory
yields of 1901 and 1902, there were
many crops of wheat that netted almost
nothing, and that?has been discouraging.
Although many people are inclined
* - A1 A In ylilA O
lo argue mat me uvuuic is uuo iu a,
change in the climate, or some other
insurmountable natural obstacle, that
argument does not strongly appeal to
reason. It is very doubtful indeed, as
to whether the trouble is any deeper
than an unfavorable season or two, or
maybe to a lack of proper preparation,
fertilization or covering of the seed.
Of one thing we feel quite certain and
that one thing is that increased wheat
production is very desirable in this
country. The practice of our people in
raising cotton to swap for wheat is at
best a losing game, with the advantage
all in favor of the man with the wheat.
Whenever we raise a bushel of wheat,
it means the keeping of a dollar in the
country that would have otherwise been
sent way, and this is Just that much to
the advantage of the man who produces
the wheat and to the country as
a whole.
As we see it, this country can no
more afford to go abroad for flour than
it can go abroad for corn, pork or beef.
And while a change in the policy of
the country in this regard may possibly
have some effect in reducing the
volume of money that is now being
handled here, the clear profit of each
individual farmer will be very much
increased.
On the oats question, it is not necessary
to say much. Every farmer in
the country knows that he can raise
oats at a profit, and we have only to
suggest that those who are unwilling
to make any further efforts along the
wheat line, will do well to sow oats.
JOHN McGAHA KILLED.
Anderson Desperado Falls at Hands of
a Negro.
Due West special of September 27,
to News and Courier: John McGaha,
the man who has killed four men in
this county, has at last met his fate
by being shot down over in Greenville
county by a negro last night. From
facts learned over the telephone from
Honea Path, two of McGaha's hands
left him, and finding where they were,
McGaha took one of the Ashleys in
search for the negroes. They were
somewhere near Dial & Troaym's store.
Eleven shots were fired, no one being
hurt, but McGaha. He died suddenly
while being brought back and was
buried at Barker's Creek, near Honea
Path, today.
John McGaha was one of the most
desperate and fearless characters of
South Carolina. He was 40 years old
and leaves a wife. He was reared to
manhood in the home of Hon. J. W.
("Citizen Josh") Ashley, in the Honea
Path section, and had since engaged
in farming here. He had three times
been tried and three times cleared of
the charge of murder, two of his victims
being white men. It is also said
that he killed a negro some twenty
years ago near Honea Path, and there
are many reputable citizens in Anderson
county who freely express the belief
that he was guilty of the crime.
It is said that the negro was badly
beaten up by a crowd and that McGaha
later pressed a pistol against his
body and fired.
The latest case laid at McGaha's
door was the killing of a negro named
George Clinkscales. He was tried in
Abbeville at the last term of court
and cleared on the ground, that the
shooting was accidental. McGaha and
Clinkscales had gone to the home of
a negro intoxicated. After remaining a
time the negro left the house and was
going in the direction of the barn,
when McGaha fired through the open
door and killed him. the ball entering
the negro's back. His plea was that
he had fired to notify the negro that
nt* was rtauj iu itiiic.
About fourteen years agp McGaha
was tried for the murder of Josh Bigby,
a white man. and also a notorious
character. He was shot with a shotgun.
McGaha and Blgby had been in
Anderson together and both were
drinking. They left for their homes
near Honea Path, eighteen miles, and
when near McGaha's home he got out
of the wagon, walked to his l\ome, secured
a shotgun and walking back a
mile, shot him. It was said that
Bigby had before beaten McGaha almost
to death. The latter's plea of
self-defense was sustained.
Bud Sweat was shot and killed by
McGaha on Christmas Day ten years
ago at the former's home, five miles
from Honea Path, in Abbeville county.
Thev had become involved iri a
difficulty over some matter and the
shooting occurred in Sweat's yard,
where McGaha Is said to have followed
him. A pistol was the weapon used.
McGaha had often been arrested at
Anderson and had more than once
threatened to kill an officer. He was
feared throughout that section, and
because of this fear, exercised great
power over negroes and a certain class
of whites.

on Saturday placed Will Herrin, a negro.
in the penitentiary for safe keeping.
Herrin a few days ago assassinated
Mr. Emanuel Carver near Saluda.

SPECULATIVE MARKET. i
The developments in the contract
market yesterday are summarized in
an Associated Press dispatch of last
night as follows: 1
The cotton market had a sharp upturn
during the day's early session, '
but lost part of the gain, closing steady
at a net advance of 2 to 6 points. '
Sales were estimated at 150,000 bales. !
The market opened firm at an advance
of ] 6 to 20 points on active cov- ,
erlng. following buying and Wall street ;
support. Retter cables than expected,
showers and rains in the belt over
Sunday and reports of low tempera- i
tures in the southwest with a light
frost at Oklahoma were responsible for
the upward movement. The advance ;
to 9.12 for October and 8.78 for Janua- '
r.v attracted heavy realizing, however, ,
under which prices reacted, several [
points following the western belt fore- 1
cast for clear and warm weather with '
business less active after midday and
the close at the lowest prices of the j
day. October notices were estimated
at only 10,000 to 15,000 bales and had ,
no apparent effect on the market.
Receipts at the ports 54,007 bales, {
against 41.114 last week and 41.677 last '
year. For the week 335,000 bales
against 286.179 last week, and 220,276
last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans
5,767 bales against 8.832 last year,
and at Houston 14,100 bales against
6,998 last 'year. i

THE GAME LAWS.
The open season for dove shooting
Is now on and for sometime past
sportsmen throughout the county
have Invaded the wood and field
In search of this game. The open
season for s iootlng quail and partridges
does not begin until the 15th
day of November, from which date
the hunting season will be on until
the first of March.
At the last session of the general assembly
an act was passed amending the
law for the protection of partridges,
and.quail, making it "unlawful for
any person except upon his own lands,
or upon the lands of another with
the consent of the owner thereof, to
net or trap any partridge or quail;
frnd it shall be unlawful for any
person to sell, or ship, or export for
sale any partridge or quail for the
Bpace of five years from the 20th of
February, A. D., 1907."
The new act also amends the law
as to shooting Mongolian pheasants,
so that none of these birds shall be
killed, trapped or injured in any way
before the first of January, 1912. No
person shall be allowed to kill them
either upon his own or other lands.
The Audubon society was Incorporated
by the general assembly on the
19th day of February, 1907, and
among Its objects are the protection
and preservation of wild birds, but
unless doves can be classified under
the heads of "other pheasants," there
Is no law providing for their protection,
and specifying an open and
closed season when they may be hunted
and trapped.
The question of shooting doves was
? i 1 u~a# A VtunHricy
Uliseu ill lue Uf^iiiiuwg in me nuuki?e
season of last year, and an Investigation
at that time showed that there
was no provision made for them, but
it was thought that in the new law, or
amendment, to the game laws, this
provision would have been inserted,
especially since the Incorporation of the
Audubon society. But again they are
exempted, apparently because of error,
as it would seem to any other game
birds of the state.
The law for non-residents' hunting is
full and exacting. The new act in seclion
three provides that 'it shall be unlawful
for any non-resident of this
state except on his own land, or on the
land under his control or except when
accompanied by resident free-holder by
special invitation for a special occasion,
to catch, kill, injure, or pursue
with such intent any wild turkey, partridge
or quail, in any county of this
state, without a license, and the clerk
nf court for such county is hereby authorized
and required, upon the payment
to him of a license fee of $25, to
Issue to any such non-resident a license
to hunt in each countv which shall be
for one year. All licenses and fines
collected under this act shall be turned
over to the warden of the county for
the enforcement of the game laws."
THE WHEAT QUESTION.
"I have Just one question to ask at
this time," said Mr. George R. Wallace
to a representative of The Enquirer
last Saturday, and that question is
this:
"Why is it our people have not been
able to raise any wheat since the price
of cotton went above 10 cents?"
As is to be inferred from the nature
and form of the question, Mr. Wallace
ivas half serious and half in jest; but
with he idea of developing from so
good a farmer information that might
prove of value, our representative ignored
the Implied humor and replied:
"Well, you will remember that while
It is a fact that we raised a big crop of
good wheat in 1901, so much wheat in
fact that scores of farmers bought machines
with which to harvest it, and
while there was a very good crop the
next year, after that it seemed that
very few people could make wheat, no
matter how hard they tried or how
much trouble they took. According to
my recollection they had to quit before
the price of cotton went up to 10 cents.
1 do not know what's the matter. Do
pru?
"I was expecting you to tell me.
That is why I asked the question.
What the trouble is I do not know; but
there is something curious about it.
Some of the old people tell me that the
wheat yield fell off when we went to
Jceper plowing. I am inclined to the
opinion that the trouble is prooamy
:lue to the fact that we have quit put:ing
our cotton seed back on our land.
About this time came along Probate
fudge Williams, who used to be known
is one of the most successful wheat
raisers in his part of the country, and
ivho by the way, was a close neighbor
to Mr. Wallace. Mr. Wallace trans'erred
the question along with an explanation
of his theory to Mr. Wiliams,
who expressed himself to this
ffect:
"I'll have to admit that we don't
nake as much wheat as we used to; i
put I don't think it is because of deep
plowing. Farmers of experience in
vheat countries say there is no doubt 1
>f the fact that the deeper you plow,
he more bushels you get. I am in- i
lined to think that is correct. But
there Is something In your cotton seed
idea. We built up our lands largely
with cotton seed. We used to buy seed
until the price went above 16 cents a
bushel, and we put some seed on the
land yet. There Is no doubt about It,
cotton seed helps. But my opinion is
that the season counts far more than
anything else. I have noticed that
when there is a freeze in February,
there is not much wheat. The year
she was burned out you know, our
neighbor, Miss Mag Thomasson, did
not get her wheat sowed until February.
All the rest of us had sowed in
the fall. There was a freeze in February
and Miss Thomasson made more
wheat than any of us?a good crop in
fact.
"Yes," assented Mr. Wallace, "and
when sowed, all of us said she could
not make anything."
"Well, whatever it is and whatever
is the matter, I am not going to quit.
I am arranging to put in five acres in
first-class condition and if I do not
make some wheat it will be because of
something else than that I did not give
it proper attention."

Beaten to Death.
Coroner Louthian went to Rock Hill
last Friday to hold an Inquest over the
dead body of a negro child named Julius
Hutchinson and aged about eight
years, who died the previous Wednesday
under circumstances that clearly
indicated foul play. There was testimony
to the effect that a negro woman
had been seen beating the boy brutally
and unmercifully the previous Saturday.
Two women, however, testified
that one Charley Parker had acknowledged
in their presence that he had
done the beating. Parker immediately
disappeared. The verdict of the Jury
was, that "Julius Hutchinson came to
his death, In our opinion, by being
whipped and beaten by Charley Parker."
The coroner lodged a warrant in
the hands of the sheriff for Parker.
Lintless Cotton.
Mr. John W. Miller, carrier on rural
route No. 6, left at The Enquirer office
this morning some specimens of "lintless"
cotton taken from the fields of
Messrs. J. B. Miller, D. E. Jackson and
others. The specimens consist of full
sized bolls of ordinary appearance
which, whe.n split open, show only
seeds?not a sign of lint. Mr. Miller
explained that the bolls were taken
from the tops of ordinary stalks of cotton.
The lower bolls of the stalks were
normal and full of lint; but a large
per cent of the top bolls are like those
shown?entirely lintless. The same
thing has been seen In previous years;
but there seems to be more of it this
vear than ever before.
The Late Wm. Caldwell.

Case of J. Henry Garrison.
Laurens special of September 27, to
the Columbia State: The fall term of
general sessions court for Laurens
county will be convened tomorrow
morning with Judge R. Withers Memminger
of Charleston presiding. There
are only four or five murder cases
docketed for this term, but this number
includes one of the most sensational,
perhaps, that has been In the
county in years, that of the State vs.
J. Henry Garrison of Gray Court, who
will have to answer for the murder of
J. Louis Williamson, the young York
county man who was shot to death in
Garrison's home by Garrison himself
on the night of July 31, this year. It
will be recalled that young Williamson,
who was a suitor for the hand of
Miss Mary Garrison, daughter of the
defendant, met his tragic death in the
very presence of Miss Garrison, while
the two were seated in the parlor of
the Garrison home. Mr. Williamson
was fatally wounded and died a few
hours later. The exact line of defense
Is not known, but the defendant claimed
on the day following the tragedy
that he shot because he observed Williamson
conducting himself improperly
toward his daughter. Two strong
local law firms?Ferguson & Featherstone
and Richey & Richey?will represent
the defense, while Mr. J. L. Williamson
of York, father of J. Louis
Williamson, and perhaps other counsel
will be associated with Solicitor
Cooper.

Card From Mayor Hart.
Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
In your issue of the 25th instant, you
make the following statements: "That
the mayor is for granting a franchise
to the Piedmont company is well understood,"
and "If there was no telephone
system in Yorkville and there
was no local enterprise or capital
ready to supply one, we can readily
understand why inducements should be
offered to outsiders in the way of franchise,
and even exemption from taxation
if necessary." Still further on you
say: "Just how the balance of the
council stands, we have made no effort
to ascertain."
The first of these statements is partially
correct and partially incorrect.
The mayor stands for a telephone system
for the town of Yorkville, but
whether the telephone company be the
Piedmont or some other company offering
equal service in all particulars,
is a matter of indifference to him, and
the mayor thinks that he can make,
with perfect safety, the same statement
as being the views of the majority
of the council.
In reference to the second statement
(to drop the third person), I have re
peatedly stated to tne citizens in meetings
and to the citizens' committee that
if a local company was organized for
Installing a telephone system here and
the service offered was equal In all
respects to, and with the same connections
as that offered by the Piedmont
company, I would vote for It. I have
stated further to the citizens' committee
and in the citizens' meetings that
If any foreign telephone company wished
to come into Yorkvllle and establish
a phone sendee here and would
offer any Inducements superior to those
offered by the Piedmont ocmpany, I
would cast my vote for this foreign
company. If there Is any local capital
or enterprise ready, or waiting, to establish
a telephone svstem In Yorkvllle,
I have not been made acquainted with
the facts either personally, or as mayor.
The editor of The Enquirer could
readily have ascertained how the balance
of the council stood on the franchise
matter, for In the first citizens'
meeting held, I read the minutes of
the council, showing that Aldermen
Strauss. Johnson, White, Thomson and
Voungblood voted for the franchise on
the question of a twenty-five year
franchise, 52.50 rate for business phones
and 51.50 for residence phones up to
three hundred and flftv phones, and of
mv own knowledge, the editor of The
Enquirer was present at this meeting.
My position may be summed up In
the statement: that I am for a telephone
svstem for Yorkvllle and will
vote that a franchise be granted the
comnany offering the greatest Inducements.
whether that company be the
Piedmont or some other company, and
all things being equal. I would certainly
cast my vote for a local company.
If such is to be organized. I have stated
this as being mv position at two meetings
of the citizens' committee and at
two citizens' metlngs and It seems to
me that bv this time It should be clearly
understood, and I am repeating It
here only that the record mav be kept
straight. Respectfully,
Jno. R. Hart.
Yorkvllle, S. C.. Sept. 26th, 1908.
Mayor Hart seems to have missed
the point of The Enquirer's remarks.
It has not appeared that there Is any
prlofc In thla matter* that if the frnn
chlse is withheld the telephone company
will take down its poles and
wires and leave us without a system.
It is hardly worth while to argue that
this privilege that the town is being
asked to surrender, has value, for if it
had no value there would not be so
much noise about it. It would be difficult
to show where the telephone
company has a right to demand this
privilege as a free gift. The town
owes the telephone company nothing
except the monthly rental as the same
falls due. There is no injustice In
withholding the franchise that is being
sought. It would be foolish to give
the franchise for a consideration unless
the matter can be so arranged that the
people cannot be made to pay the
price in addition to reasonable rentals.
It is true that.no exclusive franchise is
being asked for; but it is also true
that the franchise under consideration
would, if granted, be exclusive in its
practical effect. As we see it, Yorkville
is in a better position in regard to
the telephone situation than any town
in the state, not excepting Chester,
and without the slightest shadow of
imposition on or Injustice to anybody.
To voluntarily surrender such an advantage
would, in our opinion, be very
unwise. As long as the present status
Is maintained the telephone company
will continue to be as good as it knows
how to be. It is good enough now.
Rut when the ten or twentv-flve year
franchise Is granted, conditions will
be reversed. The telephone company
will have the whin handle and the
town will have to dance.?Ed. ENQUIRER.
? Spartanburg special of September
25 to the Charlotte Observer: Charged
with having had a hand In throwing
open the switch at Wellford last
night, resulting In wrecking Southern
passenger train No. 41 and the death
of Engineer W. J. Fonvllle and Fireman
Bowers and the serious Injury of
Baggagemaster McConley and several
passengers, Clarence Agnew, colored,
was arrested near Wellford this morning
by Constable T. W. Moore. Agnew
put up a hard fight, attempted to take
the handcuffs from the officer and It
was after a desperate struggle that
the negro was overpowered and locked
up. Agnew made confession In
jail here this afternoon. He said he
caught hold of the chain and gave it
a jerk and the lock came open. He
threw back the lever and mashed it
down. Looking about the track he
found a piece of iron seven or eight
inches long and with this smashed
the lock on the rails. He threw one
part away and the other he placed
in his pocket until he got rear Wellford
depot when he threw the other
away. The negro told the officers ho
slept between a box car and the seed
house at Wellford last night. When
he awoke this morning he saw a man
walking down the track and asked
him if there had been a wreck and
was told there had been. Agnew replied
he hoped no one had been killed.
He walked down the track to the
scene of the wreck, where he was arrested.
The negro finished serving
a term on the chaingang at Greers
yesterday. He says his home is Toecoa,
